The first example has students building upon the previous lesson by applying the scale factor to find missing dimensions. This leads into a discussion of whether this method is the most efficient and whether they could find another approach that would be simpler, as demonstrated in Example 2. Guide students to record responses and additional work in their student materials.

§ How can we reconsider finding an actual length without dividing?
ú We can let the scale drawing be the first image and the actual picture be the second image. We can calculate the scale factor that relates the given scale drawing length, , to the actual length,. If the actual picture is an enlargement from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is greater than one or
> 1. If the actual picture is a reduction from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is less than one or < 1.
Scaffolding:
A reduction has a scale factor less than 1, and an enlargement has a scale factor greater than 1.
Lesson 18: Computing Actual Lengths from a Scale Drawing.
Find the slope of the line passing throught the points (2, 2) and (4, 3).
The formula of a slope:
Substitute:
If the point (x, -1) lie on the same line, then the slope of line passing through the points (2, 2) and (x, -1) the same:
Substitute:
We have the equation:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>add 2 to both sides</em>
<h3>Answer: x = -4.</h3>
The best answer would be D) 67 because the other numbers are not prime.
Answer: 55
Step-by-step explanation:
90+35=125
180 is the total degrees of an angle so 180-125= 55
C. The lower quartile (of a box-and-whisker plot) is the median of the lower half of the data.
